How to save "git log" in a file?

Question

Let's say I want to see all git changes from my repository. What I do is to execute the following command on the windows console:

git log --oneline --decorate

So I can see the complete history on the console.
But what if I want to save it in a file, to send it to the client? I know I can capture the output of the console doing some coding, but I think there must be a way to simply save it in a file. Something like git log --oneline --decorate --SaveToFile or something like that How can something like this be done?

`git log --oneline --decorate > file.txt` – Ryan J Mar 10 '15 at 20:30 — Ryan J, Mar 10 '15 at 20:30

You can use simple stream redirection to achieve it.

git log --oneline --decorate > file.txt
